The World Set Free By H.G. Wells

H.G. Wells was a virtuoso and visionary, as shown by numerous of his other works, however, this book is unmistakably one of his best.
He predicts atomic fighting a long time before the research starts and depicts the chain responses and subsequent radiation. He depicts a weapon of colossal damaging force, utilized from the air that would clear out everything for a significant distance, and utilized the expression "atomic bombs."
